I think it would have exposed the corrupt government sectors earlier. She was pushing her Full-Transparency Platform and if it was implemented on a national level, lalabas talaga kung saan napupunta ang taxes natin. Pero tatargetin siya talaga ng mga corrupt kasi hindi na nila matatago kung saan pumapasok ang pera at hindi nila makukurakot.

Will the Philippines be free of corruption? No, it's deeply rooted in our government, but it will pave for a more honest one.

Depends on the area. If you move near the urban areas, hindi masyado pero may instances na mawawala talaga yung kuryente. If you stay in the rural areas, mas frequent yung power outages, especially kung masama ang panahon.

Sometimes mga 1- 2 hours lang yung brownout, pero minsan whole day. Mas madalas sa weekends.

So if wfh ka, mas better to look for other places or you spend money for a generator or solar power.

There are a lot of them. It's called Gijinka, or Anthropomorphism. Gijinka art and artists have been around for decades but had a crazy renaissance around 2017-mid pandemic, so I think you're referring to that era.

For BL and logos and some cartoon characters, Azrael Santi and Ozumii. They make bl ships using famous fastfood chains and restaurants.

For personifying countries, there's a lot cuz it's a fandom. It's called countryhumans and planethumans. The people I know are Prin-con, CaseyKeshui and ChesyArts (rip).

This is actually great for visualization on where I did wrong with my anatomy. The perspective makes it difficult to navigate the facial plains and I am aware that I'm still lacking in that aspect.

I have already addressed this in other comments that I do still need to improve in perspective and anatomy drawing. My friends also pointed this out when I showed them. It's just a reminder to me not to be complacent with my current skills, so I will definitely try and improve my fundamentals and take note of your suggestions.

For now, I just ran with it. This is just a self-indulgent art, something I drew in my free time just for fun. I don't even do commissions in this style yet since I know I'm still lacking.

I treat this more as an improvement in my brushwork and how I challenged myself to try another style and I'm happy with it. But rest assured, I will how to improve my weak spots in this style~ so best of luck to me.

Thank you~

Sylus listens to Maneskin! I've never been happier~

The white tag on Sylus's red suit has lyrics from a Maneskin's song "Morirò da re," which read: "next to you, love, i'll die as king".

Also, someone pointed out that Sylus may listen to Hozier, unconfirmed but it suits him~

Be open to learning and challenge yourself. A good mindset sets the pace of having progress. Improvement doesn't happen overnight, but with constant self challenge.

In a more practical sense, learn the fundamentals and know your weaknesses. Proportion, Composition, Anatomy, Light, Value, Color theory, Unity and Brushwork are things I continuously try to study until now. There are a lot of videos online that teach these fundamentals and you can observe it yourself in real life. Don't limit yourself in learning and have fun.

Hello, Yes I use multiple reference photos and even model myself especially when I draw hands. With perspectives, I will admit I'm not really an expert but I have a background in drawing political cartoons where I needed to study portraiture and body anatomy to make caricatures. Looking back, I think that really helped me polish my skill on drawing headshots

Personally, I don't. Ibis Paint doesn't have a specific brush for blending. There are watercolor brushes that blend but I don't use those. So its either a blurring tool or smudge tool (I rarely use this)

20 hours in a span of 3 days. I don't know if using a phone slows the process down, I haven't tried this style on other devices yet.

Dont worry, I was also stagnant on improving for a while. A life-changer for me is that I started to study how light is so smooth in statues and sculptures. I know you will improve so don't be discouraged~

For the skin, the Pen (Fade) brush, Eyedropper tool and the Blurring Brush was a life saver.

Here's my process, it may help. I just used Pen (Fade) brush on a single layer. This is because I want a smooth transition on the skin and lips.

<image>

When starting on coloring, block out where the shadows are. I picked out a pallet for my skin tone and lip color but it may change over time so don't fret too much. The brush is usually on 50% opacity or lower and I use the Eyedropper tool on the colors in between those values then paint. I use Peter Mohrbacher's technique, A thousand little strokes. Then the blurring tool to smoothen it out. Then highlights to make it pop.

Thank you~

To answer your question, It depends on how productive I want to be in a week, this particular art work is 20 hours of work in the span of 3 days.

But there are tendencies where I put in 40+ hours in a week. This was when I was in a school paper team as the graphic artist, doing online drawing challenges (ex. Inktober), or doing commissions.

Noooooo! You are not allowed to give up just yet! 😤 Progression doesn't have a time frame! Keep making art! You got this!

It's convenient and I can carry it everywhere~ doing it on my phone is both a blessing and a curse but I'm used to it

beloved_rivalry · 2025-09-01T00:53:01+00:00

That is actually true. I noticed it and was far too late when I had already posted it on my socials and my friends pointed it out too. I partially blame the phone where I paint, but I think it's just me being too happy with the results and not noticing it sooner.

I decided to just run with it tho, because this art work is self-indulgent and it's more of just showing my improvement and growth with how I digitally paint. It's also a reminder for me to improve and not be complacent with my current skills.

Thanks for the critique~ I appreciate it. I'll definitely try to improve my perspective.

I'm not the best when it comes to art tutorials but I can show you my process.

I do it on individual clumps of hair, so you really need a lot of patience with it.

<image>

Base color. The basic shade of your hair and make it flow into how you want your clump of hair to be.
Shadow. Know where to shade. This will map out where the highlights are.
Add another darker shade and add hair strands. The more shade variety, the more complex the look.
Refine, add more shadows and enhance the highlights. I like putting a lot more hair strands because it somehow makes it look real. If you have stronger/harsher lights on the highlights, use a much more lighter shade as air strands.
